Drumming improves our gross and fine motor skills.
Check out the Single Paradiddle:
RLRR LRLL
R -Right Hand. L- Left Hand. Can you play it?
Not only is it a physical activity, but a cognitive exercise in itself. The brain tells the body which limb to strike the drum.
It is a great exercise for ADHD and Autism, - for gross, fine motor and coordination skills.
I am taking a limited students for term 2.
Lessons are all inclusive for students with disabilities.
DM me for availability, price and NDIS questions.
Happy Drumming!

Benefits of Drumming for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD).
Drumming develops memory and increases concentration and attention: By learning to play structured rhythm, beats and compositions, long & short-term memory skills are exercised and extended.
I have limited vacancies for lessons. DM me to get in contact about rates, times and NDIS questions.

Welcome to Illawarra Drum Therapy!
My name is Lee and I have been a special needs teacher for the past 15 years.
I have worked with students from Kindergarten to High School with a variety of disabilities including: Autism, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Global Delay, Downs Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and behaviour issues.

- social skills
- decrease in anxiety and obsessive compulsive behaviours
- muscle tone
- increased focus and task engagement
- relationship and group skills
- enjoyment and joy for drumming!
